The image of bodies wrapped in shrouds is graphic and likely intended to evoke a strong emotional response. The conversation it refers to contrasts this with a lighthearted and somewhat flippant rationale for voting for Kamala Harris, which could be seen as trivializing the serious nature of the image and the issues it implies.
